THE UNIVERSITY
Though this institution received its charter as a University in the year 1961, it has a much longer history as a distinguished seat of learning in engineering sciences. The
institute started its operation in 1921 as the Mughalpura Technical College, deriving its name from the famous suburb of the old city of Lahore, richly dotted with architectural
heritage of the great Mughals including the magnificent Shalimar Gardens. Its more familiar name of the pre-University era, the Maclagan Engineering College, was given
to it in 1923 when Sir Edwards Maclagan, the then Governor of the Punjab, laid the foundation stone of the building, now called the Main Block, which still retains its majesty
in spite of the wear and tear of almost a century. At that time, the institution offered courses of study in two disciplines, namely Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The
year 1932 is a major milestone in the evolution of this institution when it was affiliated with the University of the Punjab for award of a Bachelor's degree in Engineering. At
the time of Independence, i.e., in 1947, it had well-established B.Sc. degree courses in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering, and the quality of its scholastic standards
won it a place of prestige throughout the British India.

In 1954, it started a Bachelor's degree course in Mining Engineering, the first-ever of its kind in the country. But its massive expansion and development commenced in 1961
on its transformation into a University. It set for itself a variety of goals, but the first priority was to start teaching of those disciplines, which were crucial for national
development but were not catered for by any institution in the country. Accordingly, in the sixties, Bachelor's degree courses were started in Chemical Engineering, Petroleum
& Gas Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Architecture, and City & Regional Planning.

Later, the University concentrated its energies and resources on developing its postgraduate programs. By 1970's it had established over a score of Master's degree courses
in diverse specializations of engineering, architecture, planning and allied disciplines. Ph.D. degree program was also instituted in a number of disciplines. The process of
consolidating and strengthening continued to be a major concern of the University, with phenomenal increase in student's enrollment in seventies. Consequently, the
University College of Engineering was established in 1975 at Sahiwal. For three years it functioned at Sahiwal and was shifted to its present campus at Taxila in 1978.
Subsequently, this college was upgraded to a university and it is currently functioning as University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila.

Establishing traditions of research in the engineering and allied disciplines has been a major goal of the University. With this end in view, the University established a
Directorate of Research, Extension and Advisory Services, now called Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC), which strives for the promotion and
organization of research activities.

In the recent past, there has been a substantial rise in students' enrollment and the figure has now gone up to over 13,163. Currently, 2,527 students are pursuing
postgraduate studies. The number of female students enrolling for different disciplines is ever on the increase and is 3,462 at present. The number of foreign students coming
from countries, like Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Kenya, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Bangladesh, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Ethopia and Sri Lanka is over 479 which gives the
University Campus a cosmopolitan character.

The university has 766 teachers of which 382 have a Ph.D. degree, whereas 101 are pursuing Ph.D. abroad.

The teaching departments of the University are grouped into the following seven faculties:

• Faculty of Electrical Engineering


• Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
• Faculty of Civil Engineering
• Faculty of Architecture & Planning
• Faculty of Chemical, Metallurgical and Polymer Engineering
• Faculty of Natural Sciences, Humanities and Islamic Studies
• Faculty of Earth Sciences and Engineering

The university set up a campus at Faisalabad in 2006 and also established a campus at Kala Shah Kaku in 2007, which is known as University’s City Campus. Rachna
College of Engineering & Technology, Gujranwala is a constituent college and follows the same academic curriculum and policies as the ones followed at the main campus
in Lahore. In 2012, the university established a new campus in Narowal with an aim to produce quality technical manpower for the District of Narowal and its surroundings.
In addition to managing its own campus, the University controls the academic programs and examinations of numerous institutions, which are affiliated with it for award of
degrees.

The Department of Electrical Engineering was established in 1923 as a part of the Maclagan Engineering College. The Department started a postgraduate
program in 1966 and offers four degrees:
1. Ph.D. Electrical Engineering
2. M.Sc. Electrical Engineering
3. M.Sc. Artificial Intelligence

The first Master’s degree was awarded in 1969 and the first Doctoral degree was awarded in 1979.
The student can choose amongst one of the following specializations while pursuing his master’s degree in electrical engineering:
1. Computer
2. Electronics and Communications
3. Power Systems

The master’s degree courses are aimed at bringing the students abreast with the most recent developments in their fields of specialization. For graduation,
there are two options for the students – either he needs to do a thesis in his area of specialization (one of the above three) along with at least six courses
from his major specialization area and a maximum of two courses from any of other two specialization areas or at least eight courses from his major
specialization area and a maximum of two courses from any of other two specialization areas. Faculty advisement is mandatory for all enrolled students.
Please note that the specialization opted at the time of admission is final.
It is mandatory for all Ph.D. students to pass the GRE Subject type PhD admission test administered by the Department, sixteen graduate courses, a
comprehensive exam based on these courses and publish at least one article, based on his original research, in an impact factor journal before the award
of that degree.
The Department has highly qualified and experienced faculty with most of the PhD faculty members graduates of reputed national and international
universities. Faculty members with higher qualifications are engaged in M.Sc./Ph.D. teaching and research supervision.

25

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
The Department of Architecture was established in 1962 and has the distinction of being the first in the country to offer a bachelor’s degree in Architecture.
The Department, thus, has been the fundamental contributor towards the founding and establishment of the profession of Architecture in Pakistan and this
maintaining its leading role through offering higher programs of architectural education. These programs include Master of Architecture (M.Arch) and Doctor
of Philosophy (Ph.D.).

Master of Architecture (M.Arch)


The Master’s degree program in Architecture was instituted in 1990. It comprises of 24 credit hours of coursework and a research dissertation. Ever since,
students from all over the country as well as from outside the country, has shown keen interest to obtain admission. The M.Arch students have carried out
comprehensive research projects related to various aspects of our built environment and architectural heritage. The projects help understand hitherto
unexplored aspects of our built environment and propose innovative solutions. The minimum and maximum duration for M.Arch is 1.5 and 4 years
respectively which is counted from the date of registration.

Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture (Ph.D)


The Ph.D. program is offered to make a distinct and valuable contribution to the existing body of knowledge. It is generally expected that architects who
wish to join the program have had significant professional experience and have developed an interest in some particular aspect of the built environment
which they wish to explore further. It is hoped that these programs will help develop the culture of research and inquiry beyond the realm of academic world,
and will thus contribute towards the development of the profession of architecture in Pakistan. The Ph.D. program is undertaken by taught courses and
research work (Thesis). The minimum and maximum duration for Ph.D. is 5 and 7 years respectively, which is counted from the date of registration.
